Anyone ever tried to use MeetUp to connect with hobbyists?

Maybe it is more of a big city tool, but I decided to take the plunge and try to use MeetUp.com to organize a meeting of model railroaders here in the NYC area. There aren’t many other groups for the hobby on the site. Wondering if that is a bad sign?

THis won’t be live until Wednesday or so. Feel free to share the link if you know someone in the area who might be looking to meet.

I never thought of that but I would very much like to meet other model railroaders. I live in Brooklyn.

The page is live, and one other person has signed up. Would be great to meet you.

Where in NYC are you?
